No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: The Slits.

In the run-up to next week’s first of two Luxuria Music Pledge Drive shows, DJ’s Reeshard & Lee-Roy put on a collective brave face and did their level best to convince anyone within earshot that the world was not ending. Or, more to the point, if the world was in fact about to pop its clogs, no one within the Purple Bat Lounge cared very much about said event. Over three dozen storming tunes were heard in the course of this Saturday evening and a very, very psychedelic twin-bill featured at the Madison Theater. With the appropriate gesture that is his signature, Uncle Morty brought a canister of LSD-25 to the DJ booth. Lee-Roy recognized a thread of conceptual continuity materializing and, in response, fashioned an empathogen-friendly final set. You might ask: What could that have sounded like? You could learn the answer to your own question simply by clicking immediately below…it’s just that easy.

Wait…what happened? When? Last Saturday night? Well…we remember getting in that fly Electra Two-And-A-Quarter and driving down Brush Street to the Purple Bat Lounge…oh yeah, then Lee-Roy, ever the charm school drop-out, hollered at bartender LaWanda to whip up one of her signature Lee-Roy cocktails…the tunes began to play…LOUDLY…then Uncle Morty’s truck pulled up — he missed the lawn jockey, I remember that much — and the rest, frankly, is a bit of a blur. You’ll just have to examine the official record — just a few pixels south of where you’re reading…yeah, it’s the thing with the big <PLAY> arrow — and make up your own mind…it must have been fun…well, you’ll find out soon enough…

Last Saturday’s episode began on time…but only just, in no small part owing to DJ Reeshard’s ability to track down co-host Lee-Roy, the latter missing in action immediately prior to airtime. Specifics of the sordid incident are revealed in this week’s audio bonus, available to stream or download immediately below Ep. 184. With order — or the most acceptable facsimile of same — restored, here’s what happened: A heapin’ helpin’ of raucous music played; libations were poured; deals were made just outside the back door in the alley; inhibitions were discarded for the evening’s balance (with some help from Uncle Morty, whose former ice cream truck materialized in a punctual manner mid-program); tenuous alliances formed until the spell was broken; and all manner of picaresque diversions suffused the atmosphere within the Purple Bat Lounge. Hear all this and more, merely by clicking a few pixels south of here…

Political viewpoints never merit a moment’s serious consideration at the Purple Bat Lounge…why should they receive special treatment? No topic garners such consideration at the bar, certainly not politics, especially not on a Saturday evening. Our most recent episode nearly proved the exception to the rule, however. Uncle Morty’s truck pulled up, mid-episode, and aced yet another of the bar’s lawn jockeys on the sidewalk out front. Once the dust and plaster chips had settled, DJ Lee-Roy took receipt of a small canister marked Marionberry Pie. Which spurred his immediate search for a ‘willing intern’…and, frankly, that’s about as political as it got. Otherwise, the Madison theater advertised their idea of a mental health double feature and Reeshard played nearly three dozen tunes, supporting the vibe of energized apathy for which the establishment is justly renowned. There was more, of course, all of which is better heard than described. You can do that for yourself, simply by clicking in the right spot immediately below…

Another Saturday night on Brush Street, and within the Purple Bat Lounge the equation remained the same: You want it. We got it. Let’s do it! Nearly three dozen songs played, every last one of them a keeper. The Madison hosted a twin-bill designed to let you know that science is not your friend. Uncle Morty parked his grim-looking former ice cream truck at the curb, dropping off a small canister of something labeled ‘Jah Goo,’ the latter designed to let you know that Uncle Morty is indeed your friend. DJ Lee-Roy restated his affection for nutty French actor Béatrice Dalle. Reeshard back announced each set per usual and gave a shout-out to Pasadena’s annual Doo-Dah Parade. Otherwise, the dogs barked and the train rolled on.

We bumped softly down a hill toward an open field that seemed to be a military graveyard, filled with rows and rows of austere, identical markers over soldiers’ graves. I’d never before come across this cemetery. On the farther side of the field, just beyond the curtains of snow, the sky was torn away and the angels were descending out of a brilliant blue summer, their huge faces streaked with light and full of pity. The sight of them cut through my heart and down the knuckles of my spine, and if there’d been anything in my bowels I would have messed my pants from fear.

Georgie opened his arms and cried out, “It’s the drive-in, man!”

“The drive-in . . .” I wasn’t sure what these words meant.

“They’re showing movies in a fucking blizzard!” Georgie screamed.

“I see. I thought it was something else,” I said.

We walked carefully down there and climbed through the busted fence and stood in the very back. The speakers, which I’d mistaken for grave markers, muttered in unison. Then there was tinkly music, of which I could very nearly make out the tune. Famous movie stars rode bicycles beside a river, laughing out of their gigantic, lovely mouths. If anybody had come to see this show, they’d left when the weather started. Not one car remained, not even a broken-down one from last week, or one left here because it was out of gas. In a couple of minutes, in the middle of a whirling square dance, the screen turned black, the cinematic summer ended, the snow went dark, there was nothing but my breath.
